Stafrænn Hákon - Sjálflærður Pípari

Okkur er fæddur frelsari 
Glussa jóla-jesúbarnið Per 
með lítinn glussa geislabaug 
hann lýsir upp desember 

Hundgá heyr minn glussaher 
í glussajötu hér 
okkur er fæddur frelsari 
glussa-jóla jesú barnið Per 

Fyllti jötu frelsarans 
iðnaðarglussi trúið mér 
okkur er fæddur frelsari 
glussa-jóla jesú barnið Per 

Per blístrar fallegt lítið lag 
úr "Dansar við úlfa" 
með glussa skreyttan ventlahaus 
og slaufur um ökklana 

Foreldrar Pers vildu ekki 
sjá þetta glussaskreytta barn 
þau földu hann í Mjóddinni 
hann var alltof árásargjarn 

Glussa kristur frelsari lýsti upp 
gjörvalt Neðra Breiðholt 
"þú verður fínn gröfumaður" 
hrópaði grannkona hans afar stolt.

Hausi

Rafall

Stafrænn Hákon´s 10th album is named "Hausi". We are very proud of this album and look forward to gently placing it in your kind ears. The album contains 9 tracks composed by the band members between August 2016 and March 2017.
 
The start of the album is attributable to 2016 when the band performed at “Vinnslan” in Tjarnarbíó and improvised 20 minutes of work based around the melodies played on the harp by Lárus Sigurðsson, one of the band's members. After a successful improvisation, it was decided to work further with the magical harp melodies and the songs began to pile up. The band settled at Sólheimar in Grímsnes for a weekend in August and recorded some songs that laid the foundation to this album. Recording
ended in March 2017.
 
Hausi is a definite change of direction for the band. The band has evolved considerably in recent years from being Ólafur Josephsson’s alter ego into a full four-piece band. Now, Stafrænn Hákon has finally formed a solid core and finds a certain balance that suits all members of the band. After the band’s last album, Eternal Horse, which consisted of vocal ballads, flowing pop-oriented songs and the occasional traditional, heavy tracks in between, a deeper, darker tone will be prevalent this time. The band’s distinctive sound can still be heard in this natural, instrumental form and the outcome will not disappoint. Lárus Sigurðsson's delicate touch of the harp is the source of the album and through it the foundation of the composition is clear.
 
It is evident that Hausi's sound is to some extent reminiscent of Stafrænn Hákon’s album Ventill / Poki from 2004; Here, however, the compositions are more mature and sophisticated. Árni Þór, bass player, picks up the baritone bass guitar on this album, creating a very tight, but also melodic tone. Melodic layers of cello and trombone are also heavily involved in the sound, thanks to Þórður Hermannsson and Þröstur 
Sigurðsson respectively. Hausi's texture is seductive, but the band maintains a heavy feel that will not disappoint a true rock hound. The dynamic sound and feel is therefore the main feature of this band's 10th album.
 
As before, Lárus Sigurdsson plays the harp and piano, Árni Þór Árnason takes care of bass and baritone guitars, Ólafur Josephsson handles guitar, programming and keyboards and Róbert Már Runólfsson strikes the drums. Þórður Hermannsson then decorates Hausi with his cello and Þröstur Sigurðsson blasts the trombone like a true soldier.
 
The album was recorded between August 2016 and March 2017, partly at Sólheimar in Grímsnes, a garage in Reykjavík and homes of band members.

Stafrænn Hákon - Sina

Following their first release on Darla, Eternal Horse is the ninth album of the Icelandic ambient rock band Stafrænn Hákon.

On Eternal Horse, Stafrænn Hákon move away from the DIY experimental drony ambient and the lo-fi indie-rock sounds of their last albums, Prammi and Kælir Varðhund, and revisit the sound-spectrum of their previous Darla album, Sanitas (2010).

Eternal Horse contains nine pop-oriented and vocally driven melodies. The album builds on certain elements heard on Gummi (2007) and Sanitas (2010), filled with soft and floating guitars mixed with heavier guitar sounds, layers of acoustic instruments and vocals. Vocals and lyrics on the album are in the hands of Magnús Freyr Gíslason and At The Close Of Everyday frontman, Minco Eggersman, who again collaborates with the band, providing his deep and soothing vocals to three songs on the album.

As heard on the opening track Bræla, Stafrænn Hákon combines heavy sonic pallette of guitars mixed with airy melodic vocals. On Frigid/Bag a familiar tone is presented, heard on his highly acclaimed album from Ventill/Poki (2004). The journey continues with poppier elements and almost doomy sounds of the composition “Rene Russo”.

The band´s current line up consists of guitarists Ólafur Josephsson and Lárus Siguðsson, bass guitarist Árni Þór Árnason, drummer Róbert Már Runólfsson and singer Magnús Freyr Gíslason. Eternal Horse is the first Stafrænn Hákon album featuring the whole band collaborating on the songs in their studio, making the compositions more organic and fuller. Longtime and now previous member of the band, Samuel White contributes two songs.

Recorded at Vogor Studios between 2011-2015.  All songs by Stafrænn Hákon. Mixed by Daniel Lovegrove. Mastered by Finnur Hákonarson. Produced by Ólafur Josephsson and Daniel Lovegrove. Artwork by Árni Þór Árnason
